Oroticacid is a substance naturally produced by the human gut microbiota. This acid is also called vitamin B13 or pyrimidine acid. It is not actually a vitamin, but it was added to laboratory animal diets in the 1960s and classified under this category. Adding to food can promote heart health and demonstrate some vitamin like benefits.

application area 

Lactic acid, also known as vitamin B13, is a nutrient. In the field of medicine, whey acid and its derivatives have good therapeutic effects on jaundice hepatitis, fatty liver, and acute and chronic hepatitis. As a nutritional cosmetic matrix, whey acid can be well absorbed by the skin, promote cell metabolism, and significantly inhibit skin aging. It has been applied in the fields of food and life sciences.

Production methods

Whey is a byproduct of the cheese industry, which is a clear liquid or slurry separated from the curd of cheese and casein manufacturing. The whey content in milk reaches 80% to 90%, containing 50% of the nutritional components of raw milk. The sweet whey pH of by-products obtained from the production of hard and semi hard, soft cheese, and rennet casein is 5.9-6.4. The pH of the yogurt obtained from the precipitation of inorganic acids in the production of casein ranges from 4.3 to 4.6.

Physiological functions and effects

The main function of whey acid is to metabolize folic acid together with vitamin B12. Rich whey acid can help replace vitamin B12, although it cannot be completely replaced, it can reduce the damage caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. This acid is also used in beauty products, medicine, and animal husbandry supplements. It is also widely used in bodybuilding competitions around the world in Chemicalbook because it can increase the secretion of adenosine triphosphate (the body's main source of energy). Lactic acid achieves this by acting as an initial form of pyrophosphate and then being used for pyrimidine synthesis. The more pyrophosphate is present in the body, the more adenosine triphosphate can be produced.

Purpose

1. Vitamin drugs. Suitable for hyperuricemia, hypercholesterolemia, chronic hepatitis, and cirrhosis. It can also be used as an anti anemia and nutritional fortifier. High doses can induce fatty liver. Patients with acute hepatitis, leukemia, and malignant tumors should avoid using it.

2. Whey acid is a nutritional drug, also known as vitamin B13. This product forms a salt with 5-aminoimidazol-4-carboxamide at 90 ° C to obtain aminoimidazole whey salt (C9H10N6O5 · 2H2O, [2574-78-9]). Both of these drugs are hepatoprotective drugs.

3. Mainly used in daily cosmetics, medicine, nucleic acid, biological research, and in medicine for the production of yellow bile liver drugs, heart disease drugs, etc
